226 sats \ 2 replies \ @robbabuona OP 29 May 2023 \ parent \ on: What can we do now? bitcoin
Yep! I got your point, but sometimes I have the weird feeling that speaking too much doesn't convince people. I mean...the real shift would happen imo if i can take easily my friend to a pub/bar/restaurant and paying with my wallet to the host, I am convinced that we need the revolution from the bottom, speeches are good to educate people, create a narration and so on, but the simple act of paying an ice cream with a lighting wallet it's curiosity generator: why he's using this and why the ice maker accept this?
Surprising a person that is expecting a fiat payment and fucking his mind with a btc payment could switch the ON trigger. Your friend could start asking to his mind why merchant WANTS my sats I am happy to pay with my sats, this is a real game changer.
We need more people ( both payer/merchant ) HUNGRY of sats! This imo is better than 100000 speeches.
Just my 2 cents.
Yeah I do agree, many people are lucky enough to have the possibility to buy a coffee or a beer or even go to the supermarket with sats through lightning, and adoption is going fast, a few years ago that would have sounded impossible. Maybe you can go on a trip with your friends somewhere you know some business accept bitcoin and orange pill them there.

yep I do this every time i can, what I wanted to say before, maybe in a confusing way is that I see a great importance of small merchant at this point of bitcoin history. Lambo and pumps seems a far memory now imo. Now it's time to use bitcoin for what it is and what Satoshi wanted. Just the new personal, pure, scarce Money.
Anyway guys tell me about how did you become a Bitcoiner, I found amazing in my real life: mechanics, ice cream shop owners, devs, artists, bank employee...
I am curious to listen evey story...
